They've started construction in my neighborhood.

I was using TWC and paying for 16 mb/s service but it never had the snap that I thought it should. The Google 5 mb/s service is much more responsive. Maybe downloads are slower but I don't download much so its not worth the extra expense.

I asked them to bury the cable and they did. No charge for that.

In general, cable isn't dedicated bandwidth, whereas fiber-based ethernet services and DSL are.

That's why you'll see switched services marketed as "10 Meg" while cable services are marketed as "up to 10Meg".

[Marco Polo]

How much is the service?

[kcxiv]

There wont be fiber where i am for ages. It sux, but my comcast is still pretty fast. At least down it is.

[loochy]

This new bandwidth is so fetch, bro.

[DaveNull]

You really feel it with the upload. Sign up for an offsite backup service like BackBlaze or PictureLife and you'll see what I mean.

[Deberg_1990]

How much is the service?

$1000 a month

[silver5liter]

How much is the service?

140 for tv and net.

[Valiant]

What is your average ping/latency?

[DaveNull]

depends on the site you're looking for. Around 12ms for google.com and 1.4ms for YouTube. About 24ms for CP.

until it comes to my city, I don't give a crap who has it. Well I give enough crap to tell you I don't give a crap

With cable it's all about the grid immediately around you. Many years ago I was 1st in my neighborhood to have cable and I didn't sleep for 3 days dling stuff. Once everybody got it it's meh. Need to spread a rumor and get all my neighbors to cancel cable so I can have the grid to myself again.

Comcast just increased the speed of their internet in my area dramatically. I was at someone's house down by the Plaza that had Google Fiber, and their WiFi was really slow and would go in and out. I imagine they probably had an old Wireless G router, maybe that was the problem.

Yeah, 1Mbit up is really not enough anymore.

Yeah, that's a LAN issue, not a WAN issue.

If it was G, then yea...that wireless standard is susceptible to alot of inference from cordless phones and microwaves.

And each other. There's only 3 non-overlapping channels in the 2.4Ghz spectrum.

If he was on the Plaza, his WLAN was probably competing with a couple dozen other networks at least.

True. Tightly concentrated area.
